Unity Place of Monmouth County

About Unity Place of Monmouth County – Oceanport

Unity Place of Monmouth County is a private alcohol and drug rehab clinic in Oceanport, New Jersey, that offers addiction treatment and dual diagnosis care. Their holistic substance abuse programs include an intensive outpatient program (IOP) and general outpatient treatment. They accept most insurance providers, including Horizon Blue Cross, TRICARE and Aetna, as well as Medicaid, NJSI, MAP-SBP, Recovery Court and self payment.

Every client is assigned a case manager who shepherds them through the program and ensures their needs are met. Unity Place recognizes that recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all, nor is it always linear. They personalize treatment plans and adjust them as necessary. Case managers meet with their IOP clients every day.

The IOP program meets 8:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Monday through Thursday and includes breakfast, lunch, snacks, and transportation to and from the facility. Specialized meals are available for people with diabetes or other dietary restrictions. Participants attend two or more group therapy sessions daily and one individual counseling session per week.

General outpatient program participants can choose times Monday through Friday that best suit their schedule. They take part in at least one group session per week and one individual counseling session each month.

Group sessions involve a mixture of art therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and traditional talk therapy, and focus on different topics. For example, there’s a group that focuses on depression, which commonly coincides with substance use. There’s also a group for those who struggle with anger management, one focused on relapse prevention, and another where participants discuss the book of the month.

I like that Unity Place appears to be genuinely invested in clients’ recovery and general well being. They seem to treat people with respect and strive to make treatment accessible, with transportation assistance, flexible scheduling and multiple payment options.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

12-Step

12 step programs such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous are support group style programs for individuals who are experiencing alcohol or substance use disorder. At Evoke they use a holistic model of addiction care that includes using 12 step programs. These programs are an integral part of most relapse prevention plans and provide continued support and accountability that support sobriety.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
